Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has received former First Lady Aisha Buhari at his residence in Abuja, using the occasion to call for greater attention to the welfare, dignity and future of Nigerians.

Atiku announced the meeting through a post on his X handle on Wednesday, where he expressed appreciation for the visit.

Although he did not state what prompted Aisha Buhari’s visit, Atiku described the encounter as a warm one and said it served as a reminder of the responsibility to those seeking a better country.

He said the challenges facing Nigerian households have continued to grow, pointing to the rising cost of food, transport, education, healthcare and other basic necessities.

The former vice-president said citizens should have access to an economy that creates opportunities, rewards hard work and gives families the ability to live with dignity.

Atiku said building such a country requires collective effort, adding that Nigeria must become a country that works for its citizens.

He also called for measures that would reduce the financial pressure on households and restore confidence among Nigerians.

“We must ease the burden, restore hope and Make Nigeria Affordable Again,” Atiku said.

The meeting between Atiku and Aisha Buhari comes more than a year after the death of Muhammadu Buhari, who died in London on July 13, 2025.

After his death, Aisha and members of the Buhari family reportedly moved from Daura, the former president’s hometown in Katsina State, to the family’s residence in Ungwan Rimi GRA, Kaduna.

The former first lady has remained largely out of public political engagements since her husband’s death.

Meanwhile, Yusuf Buhari, son of the late president, secured the APC ticket in May for the Sandamu/Daura/Mai’adua Federal Constituency election in Katsina State.
